Senior Business
Women's Network
An introduction
"The ambition of the Senior Business Women's Network was to create a community. We've got a group of chief executives, chairs and non-executive directors, people in leadership roles who come together have an opportunity to make new connections. We've had politicians talking about big societal challenge, chief executives and chairs talking about boardroom challenges anything from disruptive technologies right through to culture, and the challenges of leadership from a range of sectors"
Melanie Richards CBE, Deputy Chair, KPMG in the UK,
